Iconic House ... If you could would you?

  To not just create an iconic space but to live an iconic life - is a personal goal one that I don't have the energy for right now :). But the true question is if you actually could live in an iconic house would you want to?

  1. They are all gorgeous 'show homes' but I couldn't imagine living in them, especially with a family, how guilty would you feel if the lawns hadn't been done or the house was a mess!

  2. Oh yes, in a flash! Why on earth not? Surely living in one of these iconic homes would imbue each day with a sense of excitement and energy.

  3. I find the Dupli Casa most appealing... the Chemosphere house is just off-putting!! It doesn't look comfortable or convenient at all. As for the Glass Pavilion, well, let's just say I don't feel like enough of a superstar to live there permanently hahaha x

  4. Some of these are OK, the Dupli has an indoor pool, so I would love that even if the rest was a shack, but the Glass Pavilion- How am I suppossed to eat Froot Loops in my underwear in that place?
